  • Supporting Contemporary Makers
    Supporting contemporary makers Acquisitions for the Goldsmiths’ Company Collection 2019–2020 Dr Dora Thornton Supporting contemporary makers: acquisitions for the Goldsmiths’ Company Collection 2019–20 The Goldsmiths’ Company has supported excellence, craftsmanship and skills in the goldsmiths’ community ever since the Company received its first Royal charter in 1327. The Company now has one of the finest collections of British silver, including contemporary and historic plate, modern jewellery and art medals. Much of the Collection is still used for its original purpose. Jewellery is worn at occasions in the Hall. Pieces are also displayed in exhibitions and lent elsewhere, as well as being used for teaching the next generations of makers, our apprentices at the Goldsmiths’ Centre, and promoting wider knowledge and patronage of the craft. Our ambitious plans to digitise our collections will eventually make much of our material—objects and archives—freely available online through our website to show who we are and what we do. This booklet describes the Company’s acquisitions, which are overseen by the Contemporary Craft Committee, over one year, from April 2019 to April 2020. Many of the purchases—and one commission—are the work of makers who are new to the Collection. Commissions completed this year include a superb brooch; two very different portrait medals of Prime Wardens of the Company; and three Court Cups, designed to be used by individual members of the Court of Assistants in the Hall. The cups are paid for by the Company and since 2018 have formed part of the Collection; they advertise the work of particular makers and excellence in the trade while also recording much about their individual patrons.

  • The Lost-Wax Casting Process—Down to Basics by Eddie Bell, Founder, Santa Fe Symposium
    The Lost-Wax Casting Process—Down To Basics By Eddie Bell, Founder, Santa Fe Symposium. Lost-wax casting is a ancient technique that is used today in essentially the same manner as it was first used more than 5,000 years ago. As they say, there's no messing with success. Today, of course, technology has vastly expanded the technique and produced powerful equipment that makes the process faster, easier and more productive than ever, but the basic steps remain the same. The steps below represent a simple overview and are intended to provide a beginning understanding of the casting process. Concept This is obviously where the design is initally conceived, discussed,evolved, and captured on paper—or on computer; CAD (computer aided design) software is increasingly popular among designers. You create the design you envision using the computer tool and the software creates a file that can be uploaded into a CNC mill or 3D printer. Model Build a model, either by hand-carving, guided by the paper rendering, or by uploading the CAD file into a computer controlled milling machine or a 3D printing machine. Models are made using carving wax, resin or similar material. This process can also be done in metal by a goldsmith or silversmith. Note: If a 3D printer or other rapid prototyping equipment is used, it is possible to skip the molding and wax-injection steps by using one of the resins that are specially made to go directly to the treeing process. Molding Create a mold from your master model, placing it in one of a variety of rubber or silicone materials, curing the material, then removing the model from the finished mold.

To describe his unique career, a colleague of Myron’s has coined the word “architechnologist,” while an architectural critic labeled him “Chicago’s new structural poet.” His training with world-class masters Mies van der Rohe and Pier Luigi Nervi, combined with Myron’s own poetic vision, have brought forth outstanding projects that embody pristine aesthetics and technology on the cutting edge. Now retired from Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, Myron continues to transmit his special vision of architecture to colleagues and students through his teaching at the Illinois Institute of Technology, guest lecturing, and writing. Our interview sessions were recorded on eight 90-minute cassettes, which have been transcribed and reviewed by both Myron and me.

  • 2 Fusion, Oct 2007
    fusion The Journal of the International PMC Guild Unless there was a Post Office Mishap, along with an issue of Fusion you received the premiere edition of the PMC Guild Annual. I’ll bet you looked at that first, but that didn’t hurt our feelings here at the Journal. We think the book looks great and we hope you agree. A panel of four jurors re- viewed more than 1,000 submis- sions from artists from around the world. Ultimately, jurors chose the work of 56 artists for inclusion in the Annual. A few things worth noting: If you didn’t get in, do not feel bad. The competition was exception- ally stiff. And if you did get in, congratulations. It’s quite an honor. In addition to going to members of the PMC Guild, the Annual also is circulating in Europe and Asia. Mitsubishi, the maker of PMC, bought 1,200 copies for distribution in Japan. Hattie Sanderson was one of the four jurors for the inaugural Annual. She was impressed with the range and quality of the images submitted for review, and said the sheer number of submissions “speaks volumes about the growth of PMC from its humble beginnings ten years ago.” The quality of the work has evolved tremendously, as well. “It is evident that the PMC community is an adventurous group that is willing to experiment and then share ideas. I think the 2007 Annual is a wonderful representation of PMC as it has evolved to this point.” She hopes the Annual serves as inspiration for new ideas and innovations.

  • 1 Rembrandt's Printmaking There Are Many Reasons Why Rembrandt
    Rembrandt’s Printmaking Rembrandt, Johannes Lutma: Goldsmith, 1656, etching and drypoint, Fleming Museum, Burlington, Vermont There are many reasons why Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn is considered one of the most celebrated and collected artists of all time. He was truly an embodiment of 17th century art and culture. Rembrandt was able to paint incredible academic masterpieces but could also etch and print a portrait easily accessed by the common populaces. What is most remarkable about Rembrandt, however, is his experimentation in 1 the medium of etching and drypoint. He was one of the first artists to popularize etching as a major form of artistic expression and he most definitely excelled at it, building completely new techniques that changed printmaking forever. Rembrandt’s residence in Amsterdam is important to note, as an entire culture around Dutch printmaking was built around him. His 1656 etching, which is generally referred to as Johannes Lutma: Goldsmith1 is a perfect example of a typical Rembrandt drypoint portrait. It survives in six different states, or reworked versions with added detail, with many other copies located around the world. Overall, Rembrandt’s prints are exemplary works of art and they served to create a phenomenon in the history of engraving and printmaking. It is important to fully dissect Johannes Lutma: Goldsmith to fully grasp both the purpose of the piece and the masterful technique within it. At first glance the portrait appears to be of a smug-looking older gentlemen, seated in a chair. His unfocused gaze perfectly captures Rembrandt’s fascination with depicting human personality traits and intimacy.

  • JEWELLERY ALLOYS – PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE
    1 JEWELLERY ALLOYS – PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE Dr Christopher W Corti COReGOLD Technology, Reading Berks., UK INTRODUCTION It is a privilege to be asked to present a Keynote at this inaugural Jewellery Materials Congress. Bearing in mind my metallurgy expertise and precious metals experience over the last 40 years, I thought it appropriate to talk about precious metal jewellery alloys. In considering what to talk about, several questions that sprang to mind included the following: Do we fully understand their metallurgy? Are they optimised to suit modern manufacturing processes? Do they meet the demands of the customer in terms of performance in service as well as decorative effect? What are the current deficiencies? Has there been much change over the years? Will there be much change in the future years? These are questions which I will attempt to answer in this presentation. As I have lectured on jewellery alloys and modern manufacturing technologies to jewellers around the world, it has been apparent that there is a strong perception in our traditionally conservative industry that nothing much has changed over the years in terms of precious metal alloys for jewellery application. A little reflection suggests that is not true. How else can the major jewellery technology conference in the USA – the Santa Fe Symposium - sustain itself successfully for over 33 years, if there have been no changes in alloys and processes? What is the point of substantial research and development if there are no improvements? I noted in a recent consultancy with an international jewellery company in Asia that we covered over 20 topics relating to alloy developments and processes and that was principally focussed on gold alloys.

  • Essays for Docents Project, 2007-2009 on the Occasion of UMMA’S Expansion and Renovation
    1958/1.95 Essays for Docents Project, 2007-2009 On the Occasion of UMMA’s Expansion and Renovation Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) Madonna by the Wall, 1514 engraving 5 3/4 in x 3 7/8 in Museum Purchase, 1958/1.95 Background The creation and distribution of prints was an integral part of the spread of ideas and images during the Renaissance in Europe. Printmaking emerged at the end of the 14th century and woodcuts and engraving were the techniques used at that time. While many of the techniques necessary to produce prints were known before the 15th century, it was the widespread availability of paper (the first paper mills in Germany and Italy opened by the 1390s) that made printmaking feasible. Early European Christian engravings were scenes from the Life of Christ, the Passion, and the lives of saints that could be purchased as souvenirs at pilgrimage sites, or bought for personal devotion or decoration in the home. Secular prints included playing cards, calendars and alphabets created for entertainment and educational purposes. Albrecht Dürer revolutionized printmaking, elevating it to the level of an independent art form by expanding its tonal and dramatic range and providing the imagery with a new conceptual foundation. Artist Born in Nuremberg, Albrecht Dürer is considered to be a brilliant painter, draftsmen and writer perhaps best know for his printmaking. His father was a goldsmith (engraving is a print technique that evolved out of goldsmithing) and Dürer apprenticed with him and with local painter Michael Wolgemut. Nuremberg was an important artistic and commercial center in Europe during Dürer’s lifetime and the artist used that to his advantage in the production and selling of his prints.
